   I'm using SNAP 3.1.8 which identifies itself as build 505 and is the    
   last one release by Scitech.  The .dat file gets written immediately    
   after a change to the refresh rate and does not get written again until    
   another change is made to the configuration data stored in the file.  If    
   the next change is not made for 30 days, the file does not get written    
   to for 30 days.  You could find the correct bit by just making an    
   arbitrary change, saving a copy of the file, and then doing at a file    
   compare with the unchanged file to see where the change was written.
